"Looking back, what seemed like an expensive trip was good value for the money. The days were packed full of awesome sights and experiences...."

ICELAND
...you may be drawn to its active volcanoes, valley glaciers, Europe's biggest waterfalls, lava fields, geysirs or thermal pools. Either way, there's nowhere in the world quite like it! (Lonely Planet guide to Iceland, 2004).
Welcome to the land of the midnight sun! Iceland is a remarkable mix
of snow-capped mountains, volcanic terrain, massive canyons and unique
geo-thermal activity. On this trip, we shall encounter them all! You
will “enjoy” the wonderful aroma during our trek by the
sulphur springs, experience the moon-like surface of the volcanic
landscape, be awed by the countless waterfalls (big and small) and
marvel at the view from atop Iceland’s own “Grand Canyon”.
Of course, we will never have to worry about running out of daylight
as the sun never sets during this time of the year. We have a special
excursion planned to the world renown Blue Lagoon, where we will also
enjoy an exclusive dinner overlooking the lagoon itself. In addition,
we will go whale watching in the fishing village of Husavik situated
just below the Arctic Circle. The first half of our holiday will be
based in the capital city of Reykjavik, with its lively restaurants,
shops and youthful spirit. The centrally located FOSSHOTEL LIND will
be our home and we shall travel to and from our hikes in chartered
buses. During the second half, we’ll be at the FOSSHOTEL HUSAVIK
in the northern part of the country. From there we will experience
a variety of different hikes, from the trek to the top of Mt. Sulur
to the breathtaking scenery of the Lake Myvatn region. On our non-hiking
days you can visit the famed Geysir and Gullfoss waterfall near Reykjavik
and the Husavik Whale Centre when in the north. If you are looking
for a once-in-a-lifetime hiking experience, then Iceland is definitely
the trip for you!
